UK now has 13 commitments in the 2015 class, including five offensive linemen.

Because they have so many offensive linemen pledged and appear well-positioned with top Class of 2016 interior lineman Drake Jackson, a four-star player from Woodford County who is No. 238 nationally in Rivals' junior rankings, it could be said that Hiers is not a terribly significant loss for the Wildcats. In fact, Justin Rowland of CatsIllustrated reported that Hiers' decommitment has more to do with UK parting ways with him than the other way around (pay link).

It will be interesting to see if U of L, where Hiers visited in the spring, re-enters the picture.
